I can't see my pet's melee unless I'm right up close to where they are fighting.

Sounds Classic.

As an enchanter, I like to stay as far away as possible in case of charm breaks, but I want to see hits so I can gauge what level my charmed pet is.

Run closer to check max hit, and then go back to favored distance.

So either fix it so that it only applies to damage shields like the above patch note says, or increase all messages to AT LEAST max spell casting range.

You are telling a developer that volunteer's his free time his "options" and what he should do. Decisions and changes are not based on what players tell us to do, it's based on research towards making the server as classic as possible.

If you provide research that goes against a change, we will look at it and make a decision on if it can and should be changed.

I'll second this. As an Enchanter it makes my life very difficult [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I hope its a bug and not intended.

Well blah blah blah.

Making easier for enchanters motivates me none.

Best i can go by is eqlive to determine how far you see pet hits and pet ds messages. If i am already taking a look at melee messages, i can look at range of ds messages.

I want to play with a few things on live tonight, and might bring out a fire pet to smoke some mobs for fun.

Hello, did you ever get a chance to do this? As of now I have to be within 5 feet or so of the mob to see my pets damage messages. It also seems off because I will send my pet into fight when I am far away and of course see no damage notifications, but when I get up close, I still wont see anything literally right on top of the mob. If I send my pet in while Im right next to it to begin with then I see the messages until I move, away, but then wont see the messages if I move back in. Today I had a mob catch up to me and was literally beating on me with my pet right behind him and I still couldn't see any damage messages, because I had sent him in initially while the mob was like 50ft away. Any insight you could give would be appreciated! Thanks!
